One Direction basically own the world right now, The Vamps are set to be number one in the UK this week, and apparently there’s a rumour out there that some people still like The Wanted. We know, mental.

What better way to make your Wednesday than to stare at the hottest boy banders of 2014?

Who, we might add, are all over 18, so you’re totally allowed to fancy them.

Go on, get stuck in and pretend you’re young enough (and hot enough) to be these lads’ girlfriend. Although if it’s Harry Styles you’re lusting after, then, well, you probably are…

Right, let’s start with the least hot…

Everyone in Rixton

These fresh-faced music darlings just don’t cut it for us, bless ’em. The foursome hail from Manchester and are currently making waves in the U.S. But we’re sorry to say that they look like a bunch of average sixth formers to us.

Connor is The Vamps’ less cool version of Niall Horan. There, we said what you were all secretly thinking.

Were you caught in a strong wind, Connor? (Picture: Instagram) Next up is Lawson’s Joel Peat. Now is it just us or does he bare a striking resemblance to Jesse McCartney? (You remember him, right?)

The Vamps’ Tristan’s main problem is that he has too much hair. Like, seriously, it looks dangerous. Will it absorb his whole head? We just don’t know.

13. Max George

Look, we’re sorry, no-one in The Wanted is hot. They clearly made it some sort of requirement to get in the band…

12.Ashton Irwin

OK, so we hadn’t heard of Aussie band 5 Seconds Of Summer either (apparently they do exist), but 19-year-old Ashton is definitely their hottest member.

11.Ryan Fletcher

We’re pretty sure Ryan isn’t hot in real life. But in this photo, we’ll give the Lawson boy the benefit of the doubt.

Look how intently he stares when he drinks champagne (Picture: Instagram)

10. Adam Pitts

Probably the hottest member of Lawson, except when he wears this weird checked sleeveless thing. Is this a thing? We’re unsure. ALSO is he wearing a very pale concealer under his eyes? Oh, Adam.

9.Niall Horan

It pains us to put this adorable One Directioner so low in the hot stakes: he’s so cute that we just want to squeeze his cheeks. But that’s exactly it: little Niall is as cute as a Care Bear and not hot… sob.

Since when did he have chest hair?! (Picture: Dave J Hogan/Getty Images)

The Vamps’ James could be hot, but we just don’t understand why his hair is so long and big and overwhelming? Any answers, anyone?

How does he make his hair stand up like that? (Picture: Instagram)

7. Josh Cuthbert

He’s almost really hot, but he’s not. He looks 72% too much like a wax work to be really hot. Shame.

SEE, waxworky (Picture: Anthony Harvey/Getty Images)

6. Louis Tomlinson

Here’s the thing: Louis used to be so hot. Like crazy hot, and then he tried to mature into a man and it went wrong. Get rid of the facial hair, Louis, it’s making us sad.
